The final step in extraction from quartz vein gold ore involves elution or removal of adsorbed gold particles from the activated carbon. This is done by passing a cyanide solution over the carbon, which displaces and collects any remaining traces of gold. ... In addition to pyrite, natural gold is closely related to minerals such as copper and ...

Stable carbon (and when present, nitrogen) isotope ratios of fluid inclusions in quartz from selected gold deposits in Ghana and Zimbabwe have been analyzed using a crushing device interfaced to an isotopic ratio mass spectrometer (IRMS) in order to constrain possible sources of the auriferous fluids. The study revealed a striking difference in stable carbon …

Characteristic minerals of this stage are milky white quartz and pyrite with minor pyrrhotite (Figures 3A,B,H–I). Euhedral pyrite is the most abundant ore mineral and varies in size from 0.2 mm up to 10 mm. Gold is observed between pyrite and quartz crystals, and is coeval with pyrite based on microstructural relationships.

solidated Gold Mines Pty Ltd. (KCGM) is to produce a sul-fide-telluride concentrate that is fluid-bed roasted. The re-sulting calcine is leached with cyanide and the gold is re-covered by the carbon-in-pulp (CIP) process [7]. A few chemical oxidative pre-treatments have been investigated to improve gold recoveries, including bromocyanidation,

The Xinjiazui gold deposit, a newly discovered deposit, is situated in the northwestern margin of the Yangtze Block, China. The source and genesis of gold mineralization are poorly understood. It is urgent to use the H–O isotopic composition of quartz and geochemistry of pyrite to evaluate the origins of the Au and ore-forming fluids of this deposit. …
